Brain injury complex care
We specialise in offering specialist home care for children, young people and adults with acquired and traumatic brain injuries.
Care is carefully and collaboratively designed to reflect the individual physical, cognitive, social and emotional needs of the person. Support may include 24-hour, live-in, day, night or specialist complex care packages.
We liaise closely with the person, their families and professionals around them to establish the goals they want to achieve – and work with them to help them achieve those goals. Independence, and living as independently as possible – is a key aim.
We adapt care as a person’s needs evolve and change over time.
Clinical support
Care is provided by Registered Nurses or skilled and trained Healthcare Assistant. They are experienced in offering highly individualised clinical care for people, including those who require support with:
- Receiving nutrition and hydration via a gastrostomy tube
- Maintaining a clear airway via tracheostomy or a ventilator
- Using cough assist or suction devices
- Medications
- Movement, positioning or turning
- Behavioural challenges
- Personal care
- Epilepsy, diabetes or other chronic conditions
Collaborative working
We work closely with people and their families, fully understanding the trust and adaptation it requires for people to have team members within their home. It is a trust and understanding that we greatly value, and do not take for granted.
We also work closely with case managers, nominated deputies, legal teams – both pre and post settlement – to ensure our care is effective and helping to meet the client’s goals. Our teams work closely and collaboratively with other professionals around the client – such as physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, psychologists and others – to help make sure their rehabilitation process is maximised, cohesive and effective.
